An historic win at Twickenham, a new face for 2021/22 and a chat with the boss - catch up on everything that's been happening in the latest Weekend Update.

Calcutta Cup glory

Eight Warriors were part of the history-making matchday 23, as the men in blue turned in a performance for the ages.

A historic win at Twickenham! ?

Not lost how fortunate we are to be able to train/play/ be a tight squad. It’s tough right now and if we were able to bring at least a second of joy or a smile to all of you backing us yesterday that’s what’s driving us. It’s a start, another big week starting Monday ? pic.twitter.com/LzEbPyVVBu

Outstanding from Zander, Jonny G, Hamish and the rest of the fwds. Finn, Hoggy and Redpath class. On a man 2 man comparison I would not pick 1 English player over our boys today. ??????? ? #backingblue
